Abstract:
Being a researcher has been an integral part of teaching career as it produces well informed decisions through collected data, and a deeper solution to identified problems. Despite its benefit, teachers are hesitant to complete a research study due to some factors brought by the job. This paper aims to assess the impact of the implemented project in terms of the authentic response of the participants from the survey and the open-ended questions. A descriptive survey was employed with 27 participants who presented their research in the compendium. Based on the findings, a) teachers found research as an important tool to improve their professional career because it is proven to improve their skills in their own specialization. b) It improves teachers' instructional practice by applying factual solutions to the problem presented. c) But despite this gain, teachers are hesitant to conduct research due to time constraint brought by their workload. As a result, it was recommended to continue to offer opportunities for researchers to start a research project, manage time to produce one, and provide channels to capacitate teacher-researchers.
